    CUCVRUS Repair Projects

    Looks like a M116A3 "the green one in the back" towards the bottom of the pile. That one should be lighter duty and have the surge brakes your looking for.

    To doghead relay mod or delete relay all together and other electrical issues

    Replace that relay and never crank the truck for so long as to kill the batteries. That's one of the reasons why the relays fail.

    How are you going to fit that tire under your M1009?

    Or you could do as I do, and park my trucks till spring.

    Everything is gone from the govplanet account.

    Your account got hacked and all your items were sold on the black market to a third world country.

    Squibbly's M1009 and other Questionable Projects

    CUCVs had map lights? I'll have to crawl under my dash and see what I'm missing.

    M1009 Wipers

    Oversized winter wiper blades could cause some speed issues as well.

    Military vehicle and custom car show. Catskill mountains.

    It would be a great day trip for me. If the dates are reasonable, count me in with one of my rides. If you can incorporate a swap meet I'm sure it will draw more interest.

    Squibbly's M1009 and other Questionable Projects

    A spray bottle filled with ammonia, an old toothbrush and some patience will clean that wheel up like new .

    The 60Gs will work but you may have to change the plug wire ends or grind the spades to fit the originals

    It must be a "West Coast" thing.

    M1009 Transmission Questions

    The million dollar question. How would you see the line if the pan is bolted in-place?

    They no longer make those fittings for your ride. "been there-done that-and, bought the tee shirt". Try the product below, and no- I don't own any of their stock. I just think their products work. Phil Swift says so

    Really cool truck, thought I would share

    The seller states all original. I totally disagree- The photo of it being towed shows a winch in the front, spare tire holder and a fender mounted service light. The missing winch "if it was working" is 2-K in value. Maybe that's why its been for sale for so long

    Really cool truck, thought I would share

    Looks like the truck was built in April of 58 and maybe reconditioned in 63 when they actually added the service body.

    Ship it to the east please. I will make a loving home for it

    M1009 Wipers

    Either would be fine. Make sure its ordered for a 1984 and it will be a perfect replacement. It will have the washer pump built in. The later years had no pump.

    What was the part # and or vendor for your new vacuum pump. I'm having late shift issues with my 1009 as well.

    M1009 Wipers

    It did the trick for me. My pump would keep pumping too. The "not parking" was the first issue then the pump acted up. Put a new wiper motor in and never looked back.
